Difference between Gauge theory and Vector potential

Gauge theory vs. Vector potential

In physics, a gauge theory is a type of field theory in which the Lagrangian is invariant under certain Lie groups of local transformations. In vector calculus, a vector potential is a vector field whose curl is a given vector field.

Similarities between Gauge theory and Vector potential

Gauge theory and Vector potential have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Gauge fixing, Gradient, Magnetic potential, Smoothness, Vector calculus, Vector field.

Gauge fixing

In the physics of gauge theories, gauge fixing (also called choosing a gauge) denotes a mathematical procedure for coping with redundant degrees of freedom in field variables.

Gradient

In mathematics, the gradient is a multi-variable generalization of the derivative.

Magnetic potential

The term magnetic potential can be used for either of two quantities in classical electromagnetism: the magnetic vector potential, or simply vector potential, A; and the magnetic scalar potential ψ. Both quantities can be used in certain circumstances to calculate the magnetic field B. The more frequently used magnetic vector potential is defined so that its curl is equal to the magnetic field: curl A.
